    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    When driving uphill, the engine vacuum drops - which can cause an issue with the 4WD system if the IWE (independent wheel engagement) check valve and/or lines are leaking. If there is a vacuum leak or interruption, the front IWE hubs begin to engage - causing the noise (although you have the...

    The AC VINEGAR Journey

    For years, GM had a similar situation with the musty A/C smell. GM and ACDelco developed an after-blow module that was added to the HVAC electrical system, which ran the HVAC blower motor for several minutes to dry-out the evaporator. Later, GM changed their car’s computer which enable a...

There is no mention of pushing the brake pedal or high beams, etc. I bought mine new and have replaced the battery several times with an OEM (same spec) Motorcraft battery. I have...

    Can’t reset BMS

    I have a 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4. What is the BMS you refer to? Is it the battery monitor system? In my vehicle owner’s manual are instructions on what to do after replacing the battery. Did you read the manual (or look it up online)? You mention a few issues such as the backup camera...

    2019 CDF Drum replacement…didn’t fix issue

    Ford’s CEO has stated his top priority is improving quality and reducing warranty costs - which were $1.9 billion in 2023. Although I have no insider proof, I have very little doubt that Ford has instructed its dealers to strictly administer their vehicle warranties and to place a warranty...

    2019 CDF Drum replacement…didn’t fix issue

    Some people like to say the dealers “have” to honor a warranty even though the engine and/or transmission has been altered with a “tune”. If a dealer tells you you have altered your vehicle and they are denying warranty coverage, that information goes into their nationwide computer system (for...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    And don’t forget - the dealer service department is PAID by Ford to do a pre-delivery inspection on new vehicles, to ensure everything is functional and nothing is missing.

    How to setup HomeLink with LiftMaster garage door opener?

    The manual for my son’s new Craftsman (Liftmaster) and also the manuals for the two Liftmaster garage door openers in my new home state to use incandescent or CFL light bulbs. Finding rough service incandescent bulbs for the openers is almost impossible now.

    How to setup HomeLink with LiftMaster garage door opener?

    Last year I installed a new Craftsman (Liftmaster) garage door opener for my son. We were unable to program his 2012 Impala Homelink to the new opener - but could program his 2022 Explorer to it. After much research, I learned that older Homelink systems in the cars would not program to the...
